Monkey-Cats Studio

These are the reason for "Monkey-Cats" Studio receiving the name. Pretty cute when they were kittens but they are now 9 years old, still think they are kittens and try to fit in the same spaces on my studio table. For some reason these two have very long tails like a monkey and received the nickname monkey boys from my husband. We are sure they can swing upside down by those tails! Their real names are Jake and Elwood, after the Blues Brothers, because they try to do the right thing but they are just naughty.

We have been having a prolonged snowfall since Friday night, and we still have snow falling today. The poor finch were filling the feeding stations at the bird feeders yesterday with visits including a male cardinal and an Eurasian Collared-Dove. You know it is cold and food is scarce when a large dove lands on one of the finch feeders to get some seed. I missed the photo opportunity because when I moved for the camera so did the dove.

From the looks of the snow depth in the birdbath and in the flower pots I'm thinking we have between 10 to 12 inches so far. I love the way it looks like tall angel food cakes in the containers....hm mm, cake sounds good!

The bird feeders need to be refilled so I better get to them and then into the studio to get some work done. Have a great week!

We too had squirrel problems and if you look closely the feeders are hanging from long wires. They are just long enough to be out of reach of a squirrel's body fully extended and hanging by it's toes trying to reach the top of the feeder. They have been redesigned by us several times before we succeeded.

We usually get a couple of deep snow falls a year. Snow is like a pretty white winter blanket.
